Yuk. Those aren't going to suit an e34. BBS, Parrallels, Radial style 32's, or Throwing Stars suit them the best IMO.

Your current wheels are aproximately 15" (just over it I think). Do you want to go much bigger?

I'm liking the look of these.

E39 wheels.

These are the ones currently fitted.

My german's not the best but does this site offer these wheels in imperial sizes?

Are they metric sizes? Anyway, I tend to be a bit "period" with wheels - the ones from your car's particular era will probably suit it best.

This website (posted here recently, thanks) is excellent as a tool to discover which wheels were put on which models.

Edit: Radial Style 32, maybe? Do you want ease of cleaning or best look when clean? RS 32 falls into the latter category!

Hi guys,

My car currently has "bottlecap" (maybe i'm wrong tho) alloys fitted. These come with a tyre size which doesn't seem to exist  . 220 / 55 R390

Anyway, I'm looking to change to a wheel which i can readily source tyres for at a reasonable cost which will also suit the car.

Aftermarket, original or replica I'm not too pushed.

Anyone any suggestions? (with pics if you can as i'm clueless to differing styles or names)

 

Many thanks in advance

Mark.
